Restaurants in Longwood

“We have been going to Kobe Steakhouse for several years. Each time we go it has been a great experience. The food is wonderful and the staff are amazing. For the past 20 years we have requested Chef Fuji. He is so fun and really engages with everyone. Chef Fuji always gives us a 5 star experience! I can't leave a review without also mentioning a server who we almost always get, Kevin. He does such a wonderful job and always makes us laugh. Tonight was our sons 21st birthday and the staff, as always, made it a wonderful memory. I can't recommend Kobe Steakhouse enough.”

“Delicious and fresh classic Italian paired with amazing service is a win win!! We are always are greeted with a smile and welcoming vibe. Love this place so much!”

“This place is absolutely top-notch! Not only is the craft beer excellent and the food consistently delicious, but the atmosphere is what really sets it apart. Sky, the owner, goes above and beyond to make sure every guest feels welcome — you can tell he truly cares about building a strong sense of community here. It’s the kind of place where you can bring your family, enjoy an event, or just relax with friends and feel right at home. If you’re looking for great beer, great food, and even better people, I can’t recommend this spot enough. Do yourself a favor and become a regular — you’ll be glad you did!”

“I would have given Freda's 5 stars but I kinda think our server steered us toward a very large Margarita without informing the size”

“THE FRIED CRAB CAKE SANDWICH WAS GREAT. THE SERVICES WAS GREAT TO I WILL VISIT AGAIN!”

“We stopped in for Lunch at Ma-$e and really enjoyed ourselves! They have a great lunch specials menu- nice selection of sushi, Bento and hot plate options from $12-21, in addition to their regular menu. Portions were large and food was HIGH QUALITY DELICIOUSNESS! definitely recommend and will be back 😊”

“Great service and delicious food!”

“Delicious food!! Wagyu beef dumplings the best!! Bento bulgogi box excellent!! Our favorite place”

“This place is wonderful! All staff is super welcoming and the food is just incredible. I would highly recommend anyone to stop by because every penny spent is worth it.”

“They were wonderful, I had my birthday brunch there with my family and staff and owner were unbelievable, super sweet staff and attentive. The food and drinks were like OMG delicious. It is $21.95 for the all you can eat brunch. I ate chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, pineapple shrimp ceviche, pork belly with jalapeño glaze, shrimp and grits, spinach and cheese frittata and a honey spinach and pepperoni pizza with extra spices. I love this place and my family and I will be back for sure.”

“Best Persian restaurant in Florida”

“this is the best time on a Sunday afternoon.”

“Food was delicious. Service - could use a little improvement. We had to ask the waitress for bread plates and after the appetizer was served, we had to ask for silverware.
Friday night - the place was noisy. Could be indicative of the masses knowing where the good food is.”

“Love Hourglass Longwood! Incredible staff and lots of fun.”

“Happy to find a home church where their main focus is Jesus, repentance, forgiveness, salvation and encourage each other to keep walking in God’s will and obedience of His Word. A place where the Holy Spirit moves with liberty and the worship time is to worship 🙌🏼 not a simple stage with singers. Worship prepares the place for God to show off.❤️”

“this place is great! never had a bad meal, my favorites are steamed shrimp and the baked ravioli! never had a bad server, but, Katey is our favorite!”

“I’ve been going there for over 10 years. It’s good spending time there with friends. I asked for a memory board for a patron that loved that place. I really appreciated that.”

“They created a beautiful baptism cake for my granddaughter that tasted as great as it looked. Got so many compliments. Thank you!”

“i just started working in the building they are in and when someone from our office mentioned them, I went after work and order the cuban.. 10/10 cuban. Thank you! Cant wait for more.”

“Great atmosphere and delicious food!”

“The food was very tasty and cooked to perfection. Atmosphere is very welcoming and they treat you like family. I wish them lots of success. Morongo is outstanding, permit really tasty and tender. All the food was five stars.❤”

“Best lasagna i had all month, homemade soup & salad, garlic knots to die for with a side of peach tea and 2 glasses of cabernet with backgrouond sights and sounds of Italy to dine by....what more can i say.....”

“Fantastic coffee and great atmosphere. The owner is hands on and very nice.”

“The food is DELICIOUS! Real Venezuelan food with smoky meat, just fantastic. Everything we tried (patacon, burger, tequenos, papilon) is fresh, juicy, and tasty. We will be coming back for sure.”

“Es un sitio bellísimo, la atención es familiar, amo cada cosa que allí venden, delicioso todo, lo súper recomiendo. Mucho mejor que sitios famosos en Longwood, Orlando, Winter Park, en fin, todos sus alrededores, no dejen de visitarlos y probar.”

“Everything has been absolutely delicious! You really can’t go wrong here. Friendly staff too!”

“Best place to go for all your yummy needs. From their coffee to their teas! The avenas, waffles and shakes you can’t go wrong!! Love it when I can get out there! It’s a must go to spot!! You’ll thank me lol!!”

“Just called Rivers Lakeland to place a pick up order. Man answered the phone. Stated they don't take orders by phone have to do online. Told him I tried that wouldn't work. Said that's how they do take out. I've been going to 4 Rivers for years. Was ordering for six people over $100. Told him I'll find some place else to order from. Won't be back.”

“Get to Cafe Paisano immediately! My wife, daughter, and I found Cafe Paisano while we were staying in Longwood on vacation. I had already eaten, they got some takeout, and when I tasted the food, I knew we would be headed back before we left. Cafe Paisano is a smaller, cute place with indoor and outdoor seating. We brought 12 people and they were happy to accommodate us in no time. Our group ordered a variety of entrees and EVERYONE loved their meal. Pizza, lasagna, pasta, everyone was happy and the portions were large. Our server was a young lady, but she was amazing! She handled our large, rowdy group very well with the skill of someone who had been serving for decades. She is probably the best server I have ever had. Upon arriving and before leaving I spoke briefly with the owner and he makes you feel right at home. Living close to New Orleans, it's hard to find a restaurant that will beat our favorite places in the city, but this little spot right here is an absolute hidden gem. Whenever I am in Orlando I will be stopping in to dine with these great people. Longwood is lucky to have them.”

“Claro's is such a lovely, cozy place to relax and enjoy a delicious cup of coffee. They always have yummy seasonal specials, and the staff are really sweet. Easily my favorite local spot to hang out with a tasty warm beverage and good company. 🩵”

“The kale salad was delicious 😋”

“The chicken quesadilla was excellent. The chef clearly proud of his food. “These are the best quesadilla in town” he said. He’s 100% correct. I don’t usually like refried beans but these were really good. Same with the rice. The hot sauces are made in house. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients. The chicken was fresh abs tender. it’s more of a take out place but there are a few tables. I’ll be back….often.”

“Amazing Burgers and bartender. Kelly was amazing and one of the best burgers we have ever had in the area. Will definitely be back. Looking for a local area and I think we found it.”

“Nidhi is an absolute pleasure! We've gone a few times now and she always suggests a new dish for us to try that is mind blowingly good! And she has great suggestions for drinks too! If you don't know what to get, just ask. I've not been disappointed yet!”

“I want to thank this restaurant and Miguel Martinez for offering me food when I was struggling. I posted in a local group as a member of sanford where the restaurant is located. Miguel messaged and offered me food and for anyone else who lived with me who might be struggling. Not only do they help their community, but they have the best smash burger I have ever had and I am very picky about burgers. When I am not struggling as much I am going to be going back for another burger.”

“Moved to the area recently and this has been a delightful place to have so close. The …. Boba-rista s(?) are always friendly when I come in which has been a few times now. I was helped by Sophie last who made some great recommendations and had perfect customer service. The art work in here is fun, the store is super clean and I love the hipster vibe this place has. I’ll always be a fan of Thai tea with brown sugar boba, but this place has a little of everything for everyone it seems.”

“Great flavors and very talented and friendly chef!”

“I brought my granddaughter to Nan N Pops on Friday and she absolutely loved the Zack’s say cheesecake bubble waffle. She had a hard time trying to decide what to get from all the offerings. The staff was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. She enjoyed herself so much that she wants to make Nan N Pops our “Friday Girls Night Out” place to go. I have to admit the ice cream was the best I’ve ever tasted!”

“Great little place- The trivia night is a lot of fun! Friendly place, reasonably priced, good selection of beers, family friendly!🍻”

“the bartenders are absolutely amazing the vibes are comfortable with lots of great people and good times.”

“Food was excellent tonight!! We did take-out”

“After my wife's surgery follow-up appointment today, she decided on authentic Greek cuisine as her "lollipop" for withstanding more poking & prodding. Curious about how Mykonos/Longwood would stand up to Hellas in Tarpon Springs, we ventured in. Greeted by a smiling employee we were soon seated and looking over the menu. From the time we sat, Morgan our server was excellent. Cheerful, attentive, and very polite, she treated us like we were royalty. Our appetizer was fried zucchini, very good. The rice soup and salad was perfect. When Morgan brought the entrees of lamb chops & pastitsio - we knew we had to order some for the next two days at home! Everything was fantastic. And we didn't have to go to Tarpon Springs! Instead we found our Greek home food, right here in Longwood. Be sure to ask for Morgan! And hats off to the chef!”

“Absolutely delicious 😋 🍯😍🤣”

“The Staff is the best! They were accepting of the needs of the Customer. They went above and beyond. The food was delicious. We will definitely be back.”

“🌿⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌿 I had such a wonderful experience at A Branch of Leaves and Roots today! The owner was incredibly nice and provided top-notch customer service. I felt welcomed as soon as I walked in, and their knowledge of herbal remedies was truly impressive. Not only did the owner take the time to understand my needs, but they also recommended the perfect herbal products for me. I could tell that they genuinely cared about helping me find the right solution for my health concerns. The shop itself had a wide variety of high-quality herbal medicines and supplements, and I left feeling confident in my purchase. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and friendly herbal medicine shop with great customer satisfaction, I highly recommend them. I will definitely be returning for all my herbal remedy needs! #HerbalMedicine #GreatCustomerService #HighlyRecommend 🌿🌟”

“Almost too pretty to eat! The peppermint mixed with chocolate was AMAZING! Go there.”

“I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. You can find delicious food from three different countries: Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador. Everything was excellent and full of flavor.
I especially want to highlight the service and Emily’s attention—she was very kind and attentive. I will definitely be back. 👏👏👏”

“The meals are my favorite and are so convenient! Jenn makes it super easy to order and everything tastes so fresh!”

“What a hidden gem!!! Right off 434. The owners are sweet and they have such a variety of sandwiches and low carb options. Everything was fresh and tasty. Potato salad was yummy too. We will definitely be back soon!!”

“Love it! Best lunch special around! Fresh Sushi and wonderful owners.”

“I Love coming here. It is clean and the food is great. The servers Denise and Robin have made me feel like I am more than just another costumer. They make me feel like family. I wish they were open for dinner. I would be eating here even more!”

“This place is one of our favorites in the area. This a scratch kitchen!! Brandon is awesome.. all staff is. Food is amazing. Always have to try their home made soup and home made pasta salad.”

“Had the absolute best breakfast this morning. The staff was friendly, superb service & our food came out quick and correct. We had our handful of a 2 year old and Lisa went above and beyond to make sure he was also happy. 10/10 recommend, we will be back.”

“Attention all! If you haven’t been to Paddy’s Pub you will need to check it out. Have your favorite drink and the entire menu is great, wings are comparable to papa B’s. Diamond pool tables. What a great upgrade from previous.”

“I freaking love this place! I am here at least once or twice a week! Poker is amazing. Bartender service is phenomenal. The owner is intimate and knows all her customers!! Highly recommend!”

“Best pizza around! Made quickly and fresh, cannot recommend enough! The Mt Dora was the bomb 🔥🔥”

“The best Colombian restaurant in town. Great and authentic food. Service is excellent!!”

“This place has smoking indoors, heavy pours, down home bartenders (Marty is just the bee's knees), pool tables and great pool players, no frills but that suits us host fine”

“Excelente servicio, buenos precios y buen sabor en los dulces. Tienen que mejorar los sándwich o cambiar la persona que los prepara.”

“Best location to relax with a cold beer (wine and NA beverages too). Scenery is beautiful. Vibe is good. The name is cute. Need more Tooting merch please!”

“I highly recommend stopping by Twisty Treats in Longwood, Florida! The general manager, Sam, was absolutely amazing — she has such a beautiful personality and made my visit feel genuinely special. I came in around 1:00 p.m. when it was pretty quiet, and she suggested I try the Reese’s Twisty (which I’m so glad I did). She made it perfectly! You can tell she’s a hardworking, kind, and thoughtful person who truly cares about her customers.

This location is clean, relaxing, and perfect for families, friends, or anyone who just wants to treat themselves to something sweet. Definitely a 10 out of 10 experience — I’ll be coming back!”

“I recently went to Oh My Gyro and my first impressions are amazing! The food tastes amazing and their special sauces are irresistible! It pains me to see it getting less recognition now, but I highly recommend people go out to try it. The quality of their food and the quantity that you get for what you pay for is what drew me in at first but I want to go back just for the taste!”

“Greek salad with skewers is amazing ! Today was my 1st visit but definitely not my last!!”

“Best place to eat! Always makes the paddling trip worth it!”

“Our server Nancy was awesome! She made our breakfast as pleasant as humanly possible! Nancy is a huge asset to this restaurant. Please let her know that we throughly enjoyed our stay!”

“I always give 5 star rating to this restaurant But today my srver was popee.. i am tolerating her from last two times but today she was so rude.. doesn't want to understand anything... nd chef was not the same today.. food was pathetic... i can cook better thai at home what we had today”

“This restaurant is amazingly clean but better yet the food was amazing ordered the veggie tacos and they were so good, staff is very friendly and professional and I definitely will be coming back soon, recommend you do the same.”

“Tucked away and a Longwood shopping plaza, you’ll find one of the best Thai restaurants I’ve ever eaten at.

The restaurant was small, but had a great crowd for a Friday night. The service was great, friendly staff and they moved quick.

We enjoyed several items from their menu, and might have had the best Pad Krapow outside of Thailand itself.

Will definitely be back.”

“AMAZING! Best DF/GF baker in central FL by far! Ordered a gf/df banana cake with cream cheese (almond) and it was absolutely delicious! Nobody could believe it was gf/df. I found Yolove at a farmers market a few years ago and have been a customer ever since. Highly highly highly recommend!”

“The best place to come to for a diverse crowd and a diverse experience from rock to Spanish to hip hop and karaoke!!!! Real live bar experience!”

“All of the 3 young men employees greeted us when we came in. Very pleasant and welcoming. And all shared their thoughts when I inquired about the GF bread option.”

“Can’t rave about this place enough, specifically their catering. They are as reliable and accommodating as it gets and makes my job easier when catering lunch for work. Madisen in particular has been so helpful and great to work with. Highly recommend this location for all your catering needs!”

“Authentic tacos, and their house made sauces are wonderful. A Tuesday tradition for me since I discovered them. A little bit expensive for what you get but there aren’t many spots that can match what they produce so I will continue forkin over the cash.”

“Had the chicken sandwich and the hot honey was amazing! Great sandwich and the fries were banging as well. My son said they are the best French fries he’s ever had. Can’t wait to try the lamb next time. Keep killing it!!!”

“Took me back to Bklyn the freestyle music playing. The pizza was off the hook,the sauce is the boss me and my daughter enjoyed lunch together there. I recommend everyone to try them out. Their sauce is top tier will definitely be stopping by there again”

“The nicest service with a smile and hands down the best pickles I’ve had!! If you have the opportunity I can’t recommend them enough!!! I sadly moved states but am still hoping they will be able to ship one day 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻”

“My first time having Pho. Was very delicious”

“Great dinner tonight. First time customer but it won’t be the last time. Great service and food.”

“Thank you to Papa Bees for being able to accommodate this severe gluten allergy girl. Love the wings and fries with the house blue cheese!!!”

“This is a small business owned bar. They have some really good selections of food for good prices and you can not beat their pours! The servers are friendly. Friday nights are a treat having a DJ there to dance to.”

“Delicious Chinese takeout food. Wontons for soup and egg rolls are hand made. Staff working the counter are friendly and efficient. This takeout restaurant is busy for a reason. Great food and large portions.”

“I'm a Chinese guy but I'm not gonna lie. It's tough to find good general Tsos chicken. Usually mostly breading or a sauce that's too thick or sweet. The online order gave the option for level of heat when i put it in and asked for very spicy. I upgraded to lo mein for 1.50 more. The sauce was spicy and light with the perfect sweetness. The chicken was crispy but actually had real chicken inside. The lo mein was not flooded with soy and it had a really wonderful taste. I will most definitely be back soon. The lady at the counter was also super nice. 5 stars all the way!”

“Shop with local vendors first”

“Drive thru is quick, inside seating is nice as well. Very convenient. Just one strange thing: drive thru will charge you extra for H-M sauce, whereas inside they gave me extra dipping sauce for no charge.🤔 Free drink refills! Bathrooms were clean.”

“I have purchased many Groupon for Imperial Dynasty and was surprised by one review stating it was only good for lunch (in fine print she said). I have always used mine for dinners and lunch with no problem. They are for eat in only as stated in fine print. The restaurant is not 4 Seasons but the food is excellent and large portions I always go home with Doggie Bag.”

“I visit the Tijuana Flats Longwood every Tuesday. Most of the time I am very satisfied with my order. Today I was not! Tacos were cold, Just about no cheese, no jalapeño peppers as ordered plus received jalapeño sauce instead of the habanero sauce I ordered. To top it off ordered queso and did not receive it. No more curbside pick up for me. I will now walk into restaurant and check my entire order before I leave. Very disappointed and my not leave a tip next time. Appeared to be totally confused today. Also no receipt so could not do survey.”

“I mean it’s Starbucks. I’m glad they built one near us! Thanks for putting up with me and my kids! 😂”

“We had a wonderful breakfast this week…especially loved the coffee! Everything was fresh and healthy! Can’t wait to go back!”

“I love all the choices that you get to choose from to put in your bowl. And everything is so fresh and delicious! My favorite sauce is the basil pesto. It is exceptional! Tim and Phil provided exceptional service this evening for our meal. We will be back!”

“Shoutout to Ellis working the drive-thru this morning! Her positive attitude and bright smile absolutely made my day. I haven’t experienced this level of genuine customer service in a long time. She quickly fixed my coffee order and even managed to have a great conversation with me during the short wait. I’ll definitely be coming back to this location—left feeling recharged and appreciated. Thanks for making my morning, Ellis!”
